I live and work in Mountain View, California.
My primary professional interest is computer software as a medium
for human communication.

I grew up in Russia and moved to Bay Area after high school.
California definitely has the edge when it comes to weather.
I especially enjoyed living and studying in Berkeley, except for
the parking problem. (It can be argued, however, that the function
of the latter is to create
an
incentive for doing research that would win a Nobel Prize.)

One of my hobbies is to come up with novel visual ways to interact with
information.
My clock design
combines the advantages of a digital display and an analog
dial.
Here is a weather forecast visualization that communicates a lot
more infromation than "sun and clouds" pictures.

My favorite quote is the Inventor's Paradox by
George Pólya:
The more ambitious plan may have more chances of success.
